I'm 20 and have droopy hooded eyelids with folds (Photo)

Thank you for your question and pictures.Most people will frown out at the idea but your pictures do show an excess of skin.  When I see this in a young patient, they usually tell me that mom or dad also had the same condition at a young age, proving the genetic link to aging.I would also recommend skin excision only as keeping the fat inside is important in young people and I don't see bulging fat pads either.  This can be done easily under local anesthesia, day surgery, or if you prefer, a light intravenous anesthesia.The recovery is very simple with perhaps might tenderness for 1 day or so and mind swelling for approximately one week.Stitches in place for 5-7 days.One of your lower lid does show some loss of volume and you might want to consider some fillers or fat grafting at the same time.Hope this helps!Kind regards,Dr. Marc DuPere, aesthetic plastic surgeon

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photographs. Unfortunately, the photos are not taken in the best position to accurately evaluate your problem. Make an appointment for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of treatment options with an experienced eyelid expert or repost straight on photos looking directly at the camera.Good luck,

Thank you for your question and pictures.  Botox would be a non surgical option to try and raise your eyebrow to make the appearance of less heaviness, although this is temporary.  If you have loose skin and puffiness then surgery would the only option to remove.  Extra skin and fat on the upper eyelid can cause the eyes to feel and look tired. Taken to the extreme, the extra skin can hang so much that it can hamper your vision and cause discomfort.  If you look tired when you're not, and can’t put eye shadow or mascara due to excess skin covering your eyelids, then you can benefit from upper eyelid lift or Upper Blepharoplasty.  
Please make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon who can assess you properly to give you a realistic idea of what outcome you can achieve.  All The Best 

At a young age the best treatments are non invasive such as Thermismooth or ResurFx laser. Both modalities can tighten the skin and reduce the hooding. If that fails then surgery is the last resort but should be done conservatively.RegardsDr. J

You do have some excess skin at the upper lids, which appears to be causing your complaints.  A conservative "skin only" blepharoplasty can be easily performed under local anesthesia to refresh your upper lids.  We do occasionally see patients your age with similar concerns.  Good Luck!

Thanks for your question and photos.  Likely your condition given your age is due to genetics.  Surgery of the upper eyelids can definitely correct this deformity.  You could also try botox, to see if it would give you a mild browlift to help the issue also. Please see a qualified doctor that does botox injections and surgery to give you the best assessment.  Good luck!

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Based on
your photographs, you may benefit from conservative upper eyelid skin excision.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

It's possible you have excess eyelid skin, but in the photos your eyelids appear pretty normal to me and I would not think you need anything done.  However, Without an exam, it will not be possible to fully evaluate you and give you recommendations.   Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified.  I've attached a link where you can start your search. 

It is not impossible for people of a very young age to have excess upper eyelid tissue. Your brow position appears to be very youthful. I do not believe that laser will tighten your lid enough to satisfy you. In my opinion, without examining you, a skin only blepharoplasty would remove the excess tissue and improve the eyelid appearance.

Good luck to you!

 The excess skin and hooded eyelids can be addressed with a very conservative skin only upper blepharoplasty  under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. This will accomplish rejuvenating the upper lids conservatively at your age. For many examples, please see the link and a video below
